Walking Wednesdays Return This Fall
The VRWC-s group fitness coordinator, Lori Cowan, will be leading a group every Wednesday around the campus for 30 minutes this fall from Sept. 23 through Nov. 11 for Walking Wednesdays.
They meet at the Eskind Library at 11:30 am and do some quick stretches before the walk. When it rains, the group walks in the tunnels. Rain or shine, we want the Vanderbilt community to have a weekly healthy stress outlet. The event is open to students, faculty, or staff within the Vanderbilt community.
